91 / A-
Tasted by Mike Supple - 16 Jan 2009
Dark inky purple with a bright fuchsia rim. Tons of orange zest in the nose supported by dark blackberry, blueberry and rich caramel. Thick entry on the palate with fruit that unfolds from front to back. Plum, caramel, blackberry and boysenberry fill the mouth. Still very young with lots of fine grained tannins, balanced oak and a nice underlying acidity. Lingering spicy dark fruit finish.

Tasted by Mike Supple - 10 Jan 2008
Black core with a fuchsia rim with blue-violet highlights. Dark blueberry and huckleberry aromas flow over darker wet earth, dried herbs and sweet caramel. Very dark on the palate with cinnamon spice over the top of thick blueberry. Round and full bodied. Although this is an intense inky wine, the fruit and acidity stay in very good balance with each other. Long, dark finish. 14.7% ABV.
